Muslim man pretends to be a Hindu to marry the girl, tries to sell her off in Saudi Arabia

In Shamli, Uttar Pradesh, a Muslim man pretending to be a Hindu befriended a Hindu girl over Facebook, married her and then tried to sell her off in Saudi Arabia for Rs 3 lakh. As per reports, the man first befriended the woman on social networking site Facebook and then pretended to be in love with her and made objectionable videos with her. He used to then allegedly blackmail her and married her. The woman has now accused him of trying to sell her off in Saudi Arabia.

The police have initiated an investigation in the matter. The woman, who reportedly hails from Prayagraj, claims that the man, Nishad, lured her by using the ID ‘Bindas Ashiq’ where they promised undying love for each other.

Under the pretext of an accident, he called her to Delhi. In Delhi, he allegedly mixed something in his drinks and raped her and video recorded it. Using the clip to blackmail her, he got her to marry him. After marriage, she got to know that the man she loved was actually a Muslim. However, the man allegedly started exploiting her. He allegedly physically assaulted her and tried to sell her off for Rs. 3 lakh.

Fortunately, before the ‘deal’ could fall through, she got to know the truth and escaped.

Not the first time

This is not the first time Muslim men have hidden their religious identity and posed as a Hindu to make Hindu girls fall in love with them and exploit them. In West Bengal, a Muslim man killed the Hindu girl after she cancelled the wedding on finding out his religious identity which he had hidden. Prior to that, a Muslim man had sexually exploited a girl while pretending to be a Hindu and when she insisted on marriage, he asked her to convert and eat beef. In another incident, a Muslim man posed as ‘Sahil Sharma’ and sexually and financially exploited a woman.

In December 2017, a Meerut girl had alleged rape by a Muslim man after befriending her under a Hindu identity. There are also several instances where Muslim men use Hindu names and Hindu religious symbols to dupe girls and later forced them to convert to Islam.

Blessings of Manmohan Singh’s PMO and co-operation from Rome? Christian Michel documents reveal new details: Report

The alleged middleman in the 3600 crore VVIP chopper scam, Christian Michel had in July 2009 written to Giuseppe Orsi, the CEO of AgustaWestland, asking if ‘Rome’ can be asked to cooperate in finalising the deal. According to a report in the Economic Times, documents accessed show that Michel had asked Orsi not to indulge in any publicity should his company wins the contract.

As per the ET report, Michel had written to Giuseppe Orsi, “We continue to request that no announcement or publicity is created by us. When this deal is signed, if the holding company makes an announcement, a complaint will be formally lodged with your ambassador. Please, can Rome be asked to cooperate?”. The communication had happened on July 31, 2009.

Further, Michel’s communication also allegedly indicates that he had the means to track the movement of the file pertaining to the deal. The report quotes from the accessed document that Michel had written, “It is confirmed that our file is with the PM’s office (PMO). Last night the Cabinet met to discuss economic affairs, not military. However, the PM stated that all ministers had been circulated the Cabinet note for the procurement of the ‘VI”.

The communication also reveals that Michel had information about the ongoings of the CCS (Cabinet Committee for Security) meeting. The document also allegedly claims that the then PM Manmohan Singh wanted the file to be cleared without any issue and hence had directed that if any of the ministers have any questions, the questions should be directed to the CCS to be discussed.

The ET report quotes, “As we thought, the PM intends to sign the deal after Parliament ends on the 7th. We don’t like this delay, but it is wise.” Michel had allegedly added that the CCS was scheduled to be held in the week starting August 10 and they can be sure that they can expect to be called to finalise the deal in the later part of the week starting August 18.

The communication also claims that all obstacles in the way of the deal have been removed. The report further quotes, “What the PM has done is clear any final obstacles to clearing the file. Any questions any minister may have will be answered. If the Finance Minister (FM) wishes to make trouble this process should otherwise outmaneuver him, and we can expect a smooth passage of our file through the CCS (we think the FM is okay now),” as written by Michel to Orsi. Michel had also asked Orsi to congratulate the new defense secretary.

It is notable here that AgustaWestland middleman Christian Michel was extradited to India in the first week of December and is now under the ED custody.

Christian Michel is accused of money laundering, bribery, and fraud in connection with the Rs 3,600-crore worth AgustaWestland scam. It is believed that not only did he pay kickbacks to politicians, officers, and agents but also involved certain celebrity journalists to swing the deal.

During his interrogation and court hearings, Michel has reportedly confirmed that AP in his communications refers to Congress’ Ahmed Patel and ‘fam’ means the family. Last week, it was revealed that he had also revealed a certain ‘Mrs. Gandhi’ during interrogation but is yet to reveal the context of her involvement. The ED had also revealed that Michel had spoken about the ‘son of the Italian lady’ who could be the ‘next PM of the country’.

WHO Director General lauds visionary leadership of PM Modi as first 100 days of Ayushman Bharat benefits 7 lakh people

Ayushman Bharat, the ambitious project of the Narendra Modi government has been receiving accolades across the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General has expressed happiness that India’s ambitious Ayushman Bharat scheme has provided free care to almost 7 lakh people in its first 100 days.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Direct-General, WHO praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Health Minister J P Nadda for their visionary leadership which helped around seven lakh people avail benefits of the healthcare scheme Ayushman Bharat in the first 100 days of its launch.

“In its first 100 days, #India’s ambitious #AyushmanBharat scheme has provided free care for almost 700,000 people. I applaud Prime Minister @narendramodi and Health Minister @JPNadda for their visionary leadership for #HealthForAll (sic), ” Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus tweeted.


In the past, Ghebreyesus had also praised the Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, which aims to provide insurance cover of Rs five lakh per annum to 50 crore poor people and had called it a “great commitment”.

Ayushman Bharat will be the world’s largest state-sponsored welfare scheme in the world, with aims to provide health insurance coverage to more than 10 crore poor families in the country. As per the latest Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC) data, 8.03 crore rural households and another 2.33 crore urban households will be covered under this scheme.

In this span of the first 100 days of its launch, over 6,95,310 patients have been treated in various empanelled private and public hospitals across India. Around 5.1 lakh claims have been availed of the scheme, for which payment has been released. Currently, around 16000 government, as well as private hospitals, are amongst the enlisted hospitals, which are also expected to increase with time.

We had earlier reported that the World Health Organisation recently had praised the present government for its efforts to curb air pollution through one of its flagship schemes of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, which aims to safeguard the health of women and children by providing them with clean cooking fuel. The WHO had also reported that the Swachh Bharat Grameen mission has been able to prevent over 3 lakh deaths due to sanitation-related infectious diseases during 2014 and 2018.

Will kick out those officers who do not obey orders, threatens Congress minister in Madhya Pradesh

Will kick out those officers who do not obey orders, threatens Congress minister in Madhya Pradesh

Ever since Congress has formed the government in Madhya Pradesh, new controversies have been emerging in the state. In a fresh row, Labour Minister Mahendra Singh Sisodia has threatened babus in Madhya Pradesh with instant dismissals on being disobedient to their seniors.


The Madhya Pradesh cabinet minister can be heard as saying in the video, “Jo karmachari, adhikari palan nahi karega, usko laat deke bahar kar diya jaega.” He has threatened that those employees and officers who will not adhere to orders of their seniors, they will be kicked out of the job. The minister’s declaration was welcomed with cheers and “Zindabad” slogans by his supporters. Mr Sisodia was sworn in on December 25 as Labour minister in Chief Minister Kamal Nath’s cabinet. He was speaking at a party gathering at his constituency Bamori on December 31.

Sisodia added, “I am not the only one who has become a cabinet Minister. Every person in this village has now become a minister. Call the officials if you are facing any problem If the officials don’t work, inform me. They will be kicked out if they don’t follow the orders.”

The BJP, on the other hand, has criticised the minister’s threat. Slamming Sisodia’s remarks, the BJP said that his comment is objectionable and it smacks off authoritative behaviour. The party also claimed that the minister’s statement suggests that “babus are being treated like servants” in Madhya Pradesh.

The Madhya Pradesh government is facing severe criticism on a host of decisions they have taken since coming to power. The state government has issued an order to stop the pension of prisoners detained during Emergency. Earlier, MP CM Kamal Nath had abolished the practice of singing Vande Mataram by government employees on the first of every month. However, sensing pressure from multiple quarters, he took a U-turn and has allowed the 13-year-old practice of singing of Vande Mataram by the government employees and ministers.

Editor’s Guild shows ‘concern’ over Rahul Gandhi’s statement on Smita Prakash by slamming BJP and AAP

Editor’s Guild shows ‘concern’ over Rahul Gandhi’s statement on Smita Prakash by slamming BJP and AAP

In a surprising move, today the Editors Guild issued a statement noting concern over words used by Congress president Rahul Gandhi in his criticism of ANI editor-in-chief Smita Prakash. Referring to Smita’s interview of prime minister earlier this week, Rahul Gandhi had labelled the journalist as ‘pliable’, saying that along with asking questions, she was also answering them. The Congress president had made the comments during a press conference yesterday where he had repeated the lie that Modi has given ₹30,000 crore to Anil Ambani in the Rafale deal.

Smita Prakash had strongly refuted the allegations by Rahul Gandhi, saying it was a cheap shot to attack her.


Rahul Gandhi’s comments had attracted strong criticism on social media, but the mainstream media was silent on this, despite such unacceptable words being used for a senior journalist. People were also asking why Editors Guild is silent on the issue, who otherwise gets agitated when non-editorial, commercial departments of media organisations are investigated for violation of laws.


Finance minister Arun Jaitley had also tweeted that he is waiting for a response from Editors Guild on the issue.


Perhaps reacting to such strong reactions on Social Media, the Editors Guild was forced to issue the statement. But instead of condemning the language used by Rahul Gandhi, they just noted that with concern. And in the 5 para statement, the reference to Smita Prakash’s humiliation is limited to the first para only. Instead, the Editors Guild goes on to mention attacks on media by various political parties in the statement.


Instead of a specific statement condemning Rahul Gandhi, the statement becomes an overall criticism of the attack on media. The statement mentions various abusive words used by politicians to describe journalists, like ‘presstitute’, ‘news traders’, ‘bazaaru, ‘dalaal’ etc, saying that top BJP and AAP leaders have used such expressions. Interestingly, there is no mention of Congress and other political parties in the statement.

After that, the statement directly attacks the government alleging boycotts, denial of access and late government accreditation, saying these add up to a reprehensible strategy to throttle media freedom. The statement ends with taking strong exception to this tendency and calls of its halt. It does not call for an apology from Rahul Gandhi.

After political murders, it is now political rapes in Mamata Banerjee’s West Bengal

After BJP workers succumbed to several political murders in the state of West Bengal, it has now taken a horrific turn to political rapes as a lady has been brutally gang-raped by four men in West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district for being the wife of a BJP worker.

According to reports, four men gang-raped a lady on Wednesday at Khardah’s Patulia off the Kalyani Expressway as the husband of the victim is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party. The victim is the wife of a local temple priest, who is also BJP’s Khardah Patulia shakti pramukh. The husband filed a complaint stating that his wife was raped by four men and threatened to kill him for his political leanings.

Reportedly, the lady was coming back after dropping her son at a private tuition class when the heinous incident took place. The victim said that four masked men attacked her from behind, pressed a handkerchief on her mouth, abducted her and dragged her into an isolated under-construction building, where they stripped and gang-raped her. She said that while the criminals were assaulting her, they were also abusing her husband. They threatened that they will her husband for his political leanings, the victim said.

The priest said, “I had been with BJP for years now. I take part in party campaigns and was also their booth agent in the panchayat elections. I have faced threats before. But I never realised they will target my wife for my political leanings”.

The lady is presently undergoing treatment at a Panihati state general hospital. The West Bengal Police have already started an investigation and launched a manhunt to arrest the four criminals.

Speaking to the media, BJP national secretary Rahul Sinha said that there is no respect for women in Bengal ruled by a woman and accused the police of becoming a mute spectator. Blaming the Trinamool Congress for the incident, Sinha said that the rapists and murderers are backed by the ruling Trinamool Congress.

He added that TMC MP Tapas Pal once said that he would send his men to rape women, and held West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee responsible for the deteriorating law and order situation in the state.

PM Modi inspired us, Rahul Gandhi bringing in Rafale after SC’s clean chit wrong: Students of LPU slam Rahul

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing a rally at Gurdaspur, Punjab, attacked the Congress party for appointing Kamal Nath, who has been accused of participating in the massacre of Sikhs in 1984, as the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh.


He said, “Those who have a history of slaughtering thousands of Sikhs mercilessly and who still reward those accused of rioting with the post of Chief Minister, not only Punjab but the entire country should be wary of them.”

Prime Minister Modi also claimed credit for the conviction of Congress leader Sajjan Kumar who was recently sent to jail. He said the NDA government constituted the SIT that led to Sajjan’s conviction.


Narendra Modi also attacked the Congress party over its politics of farm loan waiver. “The manner in which Congress duped the nation with the slogan of ‘Garibi Hatao’, the party is now duping people in the name of loan waivers,” he stated.


In reference to Navjot Singh Sidhu’s antics in Pakistan with regards to the Kartarpur Corridor, Modi said, “Just for their politics, Congress leaders gave a chance to Pakistan. It is surprising that these Congress leaders did not even pay heed to their own Punjab CM.”

During this speech, Rahul Gandhi took to Twitter to assert that the Prime Minister had “fled” Parliament to instead “lecture students” at Lovely Professional University in Punjab. He urged students to ask him the four questions on Rafale that Rahul Gandhi had posed to the Prime Minister.


OpIndia reached out to some students from LPU to understand how they felt about the Prime Minister’s speech and the ensuing tweet by Rahul Gandhi that accused the Prime Minister of ‘running away’ from the Parliament to lecture the students.

The students had a rather different take on the entire matter. So students we spoke to slammed Rahul Gandhi for his tweet and said that the Prime Minister’s speech inspired them.

One student said that after the Supreme Court had given a clean chit to the Rafale deal, it was incorrect of Rahul Gandhi to bring it up over and over again. It’s time that he put the matter to rest.

Another said that the Prime Minister’s speech was an inspiration for the young students and Rahul Gandhi’s tweet was wrong. He said that students are the future of the country and Rahul Gandhi should not tweet saying the Prime Minister “fled” the Parliament.

A third student said that Prime Minister in his speech told the students about how science is important in our daily lives and how students can help bring new technology that would help the farmers. She too vehemently disagreed with Rahul Gandhi’s tweet and said that the PM did not lecture the students but inspired them.

The students that we spoke to can be seen here:

Narendra Modi’s rally at Gurdaspur marks the beginning of the campaign for the 2019 General Elections. It is reported that he will tour 20 states in the next 100 days to galvanize the party for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The focus will be to secure gains from areas where it had not performed well the last time around.

Incessant badgering from Muslim in-laws compels man to embrace Hinduism

Incessant badgering from Muslim in-laws compels man to embrace Hinduism

One Muslim youth in Bagpat district of Uttar Pradesh has relinquished his religion and got converted to Hinduism on Wednesday. The man performed the requisite rituals at a Shiva Temple before embracing Hinduism. After the rituals, he became Sandeep from Shehzad. The man claimed that he had to take this step to avoid persistent pestering from his in-laws. His in-laws used to call him a blot on the name of Islam.

This man, now Sandeep, is a doctor by profession in Tarroda village. 8 years ago he was married to a girl named Shabana. But within a few months of marriage, she went back to her parents’ house. She had alleged that Shehzad (Sandeep) was a non-practising Muslim and didn’t offer timely namaz.

Whenever he went to meet her, he was stigmatized in the name of being a Muslim by his in-laws for being a non-practising Muslim. They called him a blot on Islam for not offering namaz. The continuous badgering from his in-laws family had a disastrous effect and Sandeep started drifting into depression. Once he even had contemplated committing suicide. Finally, to end his misery, he decided to leave Islam and accept Hinduism.

The incessant nagging from the in-laws left Shehzad with a very few options. He thought that religious conversion from Islam to some other religion will unshackle him from devoutly carrying out religious activities as well as stop his in-laws from enforcing him to follow Islamic doctrinal instructions.

On Wednesday, with some villagers, Shehzad embraced Hinduism after worshipping in Shiva temple and changed his name to Sandeep. The local police were informed of the voluntary conversion. The police have acknowledged Shehzad’s conversion and have declared that conversion didn’t occur under duress.

Farah Khan and her kids attacked by Islamists for performing a puja

Film director Farah Khan must not have expected the backlash she got for just trying to spread positivity. Yesterday, Khan, who is married to filmmaker Shirish Kunder, posted a picture of her triplets, Diva, Anya and Czar performing a puja on the new year day. The photo was captioned “Never underestimate the power of Prayer! Happy New Year♥️#puja #gratitude #godhearsandanswersprayers”

Farah Khan posted an image of her kids performing puja

However, that did not go down well with religious fundamentalists who were quick to point out how she is a ‘bad Muslim’ for letting her kids perform a puja. People could not stop asking Farah whether she is a Muslim to be letting her children perform a puja.

Comment on Farah Khan’s Instagram account

And some even had inputs on what she as a mother, and more importantly as a Muslim mother, should be teaching her children.

Comment on Farah Khan’s Instagram account

And others were pained that despite carrying a ‘Muslim name’, she was following ‘kufar idol worship’ and asked her to mend her ways.

Comment on Farah Khan’s Instagram account

One Owais Kiamkhani was particularly upset.

Comment on Farah Khan’s Instagram account

This is not the first time a celebrity has been trolled online by Islamist fundamentalists for celebrating Hindu festivals and traditions. Actor Aamir Khan for playing with his daughter and posting food pictures during Ramzan. Similarly, actor Heena Khan was asked to ‘dress appropriately’ for Ramzan. Popular Bengali actress Nusrat Jahan was insulted on Facebook for celebrating Durga Puja.

Cricketer Mohammad Kaif was attacked on social media by fundamentalists for performing Surya Namaskar and celebrating Christmas with his family. Cricketer Mohammad Shami was also shamed for the ‘un-Islamic’ act of celebrating his daughter’s birthday. Cricketer Irfan Pathan, too, was told by Islamist fundamentalists that Raksha Bandhan is against Islam.

Pro-Khalistani plot to incite Sikhs and foil the Indian flag hoisting on Republic day exposed

Pro-Khalistani plot to incite Sikhs and foil the Indian flag hoisting on Republic day exposed

Days after Republic TV uncovered the pro-Khalistani front’s ‘Break India’ agenda and made few shocking revelations regarding its close nexus with Pakistan, China and the Maoists, CNN-News18 has now exposed how the pro-Khalistani outfit Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) is planning to target the Republic day celebrations.

The pro-Khalistani outfit SFJ, in an open exhortation, has claimed that they would honour any Sikh who would foil the hoisting of the Indian Flag during the Republic Day celebrations on January 26, 2019. This is a call to Sikhs all over the world to try and disrupt the Indian flag hoisting during Republic day celebrations.

by conducting a poll on Twitter ahead of India’s 70th Republic day, the organisation established that most of the Sikhs do not adhere to the Indian constitution and prefer Sikhism over the same.

With an intention to incite the Sikhs, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun of SFJ, through his statement issued from the New York headquarters through its legal advisor, reiterated that he will honour any Sikh who comes forward and foils the Indian flag hoisting during Republic day celebration.


The Sikhs for Justice, led by Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, had organised a gathering of Khalistani separatists at Trafalgar Square in London earlier this year, calling it the ‘Referendum 2020’, an anti-India campaign which the organisation tried to peddle across the globe.

In fact, several times in the past, the proximity of this radical outfit with our neighbour has been distinctly stripped. It was reported that the US-based pro-Khalistani organisation, Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), allegedly funded and aided by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), had written to Pakistan PM Imran Khan asking him to “politically support Referendum 2020 movement to liberate Punjab” so that Islamabad can avenge “1971 fall of Dhaka”.

The evil nexus between the two was further exposed when during the groundbreaking ceremony of the Kartarpur corridor, Pakistan’s Prime Minister was seen with Khalistani terrorist Gopal Chawla. In fact, the Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh had then alleged that the Kartarpur event was nothing but a conspiracy between Pakistan and Khalistan to peddle their anti-India agenda.

Recently SFJ further rooted its fixation with Pakistan after it reportedly honoured Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and their Army Chief General Bajwa for opening the Kartarpur Corridor.

The event, where the Khalistani organisation had gone on to praise the Pakistan Government and honour them, exposes the endearment Pakistan has for the Khalistani terrorists and vice versa.
